I have been running Unbuntu 18 for some time now. Everything works great. But I do have a few issues.
Acer Aspire E3-111 with 8MB DDR3 L Memory.
#1 Keyboards seems to lose its mapping. Backspace/Del and arrow keys seem to not work sometimes. I might use the "FN' with Arrow up/Volume up. But only sometimes.
#2 My Touchpad will stop working all of the sudden. So I have a USB wireless mouse and it always works. From time to time the mouse might start working again.
I have wanted to do a clean install to see if the problems continue, however, I am unable to. For some reason after installing Ubuntu, I am not able to access the Bios. Somehow an Admin password has been set. I found a site https://bios-pw.org/ that I can get a key and I can access however it will not let me chance boot options and save. So I am unable to boot from USB or USB-CDRom. I wish I knew how to flash the Bios. The only way that I found is to create a Windows 10 boot USB and upgrade. But I cannot boot from USB :). is there a way to install/Factory Reset, over Ubuntu from with in? Kind of a clean install?
